Clearly you people are too lazy to read my entire post and only want to nitpick at a single part to try to make me look stupid. Why you would do that is beyond me and I am beyond giving a shit why you choose to do so. I'm not ignorant on how abortions are performed and how hard on the body they are and you can't speak for all women. And this is a thread about opinions. Last time I checked, you don't have to back up an opinion with 100% hard cold facts for every single thing you say. Not all women would have a hard time with it. What about coked up crack whores? You really think they give a shit? And I never said that it would be easy for every woman. Did you even bother to read my comment about the how difficult the life of child put up for adoption would be? If all you want to do is demonize what I say based on one single sentence and apply that to how I view the entire topic, well, that is on you and you are pathetic to do so. It's not all about the woman who would or would not choose to have an abortion. What about the poor children whose mother did not choose to have an abortion and decided to give birth to them in the worst possible situation and they grew up in the shittiest of conditions, sick and hungry and shoved around from foster home to foster home. Did you even stop to think about them? No, you didn't. You just wanted to say I am absurd for saying that a fraction of women would use abortion as a form of birth control because they are too stupid and irresponsible to know the difference. If I am completely wrong about that, it doesn't mean I am wrong about the rest of my statement. But you choose to disregard that. Who's the absurd one now?

First of all, I clearly stated "ignoring the rest of your post for a moment," but all you're reading is attack and defensiveness. I addressed one point. You clearly ARE ignorant on how abortions are performed; otherwise, you wouldn't be so factually incorrect.

I don't even know what the rest of your post is about. Also, bit of free advice - having an opinion doesn't mean you're not wrong, and it's not a shield against people with better information to tell you that you are not correct.

And you're still the absurd one. Jesus.

Hey, judgmental assholes! I was just told by a dear friend whom I mentioned this topic to that she visited a planned parenthood center and one woman said she was on her 7th abortion! And a friend of hers has been pregnant 5 times in the past 2 years and only had one kid. What have you to say about that, huh?

Hey, idiots! I was just told by a dear friend whom I mentioned this topic to that she visited a planned parenthood center and one woman said she was on her 7th abortion! What have you to say about that, huh? Multiple abortions: the irresponsible, desperate form of birth control.

I firmly believe that a womans body is hers and she can do exactly as she pleases. The problem arises when there is another human inside of her wanting nothing more than simply to live. The woman has the final call, but the little feller/girl in there sure as hell did nothing wrong that deserved them to be butchered. I hate abortion but believe the woman has the right to choose.

It all comes down to when people believe it becomes "a person." Some people say a cluster of cells is already a person with human rights and others say it is nothing more than clumps of replicating DNA. THAT is the whole issue of abortions and THAT is where the arguments start and never end. Of course, then religion and biology are brought into it and it becomes an all-out war.

I think Moto did a nice job here of describing why abortion is a delicate issue, and Melissa is demonstrating why the question "what's your opinion on abortions?" became a forum meme 10 years ago.

What I'd have to say about that is that you are acting really bizarrely when faced with contradictory evidence. Your friend heard from somewhere else that someone had 7 abortions? Not saying there aren't outliers when it comes to number of abortions, but that still doesn't make it "birth control." And seriously, what the fuck is with your reaction to any of this?

I never said it was legit birth control. I'm acting this way because you all attack me on one thing that I said. You never even mentioned anything about the rest of my opinion. This is the one topic I took time to make an elaborate post in and spoke what I truly feel. I'm the only one who has elaborated this much out of anyone in this thread, and you just go and take one sentence I said and disregard everything else I said.

You never mentioned about the orphans or when I mentioned that women would choose to abort if they are not psychologically ready or capable of raising a child. THAT is why I'm acting this way. This thread asked for my opinion, I gave it, and it was ignored in favor of calling me an idiot based on my first sentence. Can you see how ridiculous that is?

Life begins before conception. Every time a man ejactulates and ~100 million babies aren't produced, he is commiting mass genocide.

Melyssa. It's difficult to accuse someone of disregarding everything you said when that person clearly stated "let's just address this one point for a moment," because honestly, the rest of your post doesn't leave much to respond to. What about the orphans and women not equipped for raising a child? These are segments of the population for which abortion is legal. Not much to discuss.

I never attacked you and I never called you an idiot. You're freaking out because someone who has actually known women who have had abortions for a variety of reasons is telling you that your facts are incorrect. Not my problem.
